Ice floe surges across frozen reservoir in Canada - video

Aerial footage shot above a frozen reservoir in Canada shows an ice floe surging for miles through the Codette reservoir. The video, taken during an aerial inspection of the river by a Canadian environment agency, shows the ice breaking up at the edges of the surge. It then piles up nearly three metres in the air. The agency said the surge was caused by ice melting for long stretches upstream along the Saskatchewan river
